CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WATE) — An independent Tennessee governor candidate was arrested at a Hamilton County voting site Monday, according to the Chattanooga Police Department.

Charles Van Morgan, of Knoxville, was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and intimidation of voters.

Several members of his family have a protective order against him:

On Independence Day last year, the fireworks were not limited to the night sky. On
that date, Tammy Goodrich and her brother, Charles Van Morgan, met with their three
sisters at their late mother’s home. They hoped to settle a family dispute over their
mother’s estate. The events at the meeting led Ms. Goodrich and her husband, Fred
Goodrich, to petition for orders of protection against Mr. Morgan.

Ms. Goodrich alleged that Mr. Morgan “got very angry” after she refused to hug
him. She claimed that he “beat on the table while screaming at [her].” According to
Ms. Goodrich, Mr. Morgan called her “a greedy little piece of dirt” and said “he would
give [her] a fight.” And he “said multiple times that he [wa]s going to destroy [her],”
including that “he was going to destroy [her] ass.” Ms. Goodrich also contended that
Mr. Morgan blocked the doorway when she tried to leave. And she recalled that he said
her “family had better stay away from him” and that “he will put [Mr. Goodrich] in the
ground.” Ms. Goodrich said she was scared of Mr. Morgan and did not know what he
would do.

8. Poor Tennessee.

Beautiful state, lovely accent, and everyone I've ever met from there has been warm, kind, and wonderful. And don't get me started on the crush I had on my eighth-grade math teacher, who was from Tennessee.

But is going on there???
